Step 3: Using The JadaSite Template To Create A Dynamic Collection

A Dynamic Collection is what you will use whenever you want to quickly create products that are compatible with your platform. However, in order to use a Dynamic Collection we need to make one first. So, let’s get to it!

You’re going to map your Source Data’s attributes (size, color etc.) to the JadaSite template’s fields. We’ve put a little “?” there if you need some assistance. The videos will also help you get started.

You can also add padding to help your products look better on the your platform, perform math calculations, and create tables.

When you’re done mapping click “Generate” and then “Export”. We’ll send you a link to the Dynamic Collection!

This is a sprint chock full of improvements based on popular customer requests including the ability to export a spreadsheet directly from our app. Previously, we sent an email whenever a user requested an export.

With this release users can now quickly choose both what they would like to export and the type of export. Export to a spreadsheet, directly to an app, or in the case of vendors, to a large retailer.

We’ve also made it easier than ever to get started using Venzee. Head on over to the dashboard and get your feet wet via our brand new Get Started section. You’ll be up and running in no time!

What’s new and improved at Venzee:

New Get Started section in the dashboard helps new users quickly get up to speed.

Export product spreadsheets directly from our app (no more emails).

We support 100+ Apps & Retail and that number is growing. We’ve added search to instantly find what you’re looking for.

Increased the number of images you can export to Shopify and added ALT tags for each.

You’re spending a lot of time messing around with spreadsheets in order to update your ShopManiaBiz store. You’re doing this because that’s the way it has always been done in the eCommerce world.

Not anymore.

The secret weapon that’s going to allow you to do amazing things with your source data is Venzee’s ShopManiaBiz template. You’ll find it in our Template Library which you can go to by clicking on Dynamic Data and then clicking the “Add” button. Once you find the ShopManiaBiz template, select it.

Step 3: How To Create a Dynamic Collection Using The ShopManiaBiz Template

We’ve selected the ShopManiaBiz template. Now we will use it to create some products that are fully compatible with the ShopManiaBiz platform and the first thing we need to do is create a Dynamic Collection.

Making a Dynamic Collection involves mapping your source data’s attributes (color, size) etc. against the template’s fields. It’s a very simple process. However, if you need some assistance with this just click the “?” or watch the video. Provided that the format of your source data doesn’t change this is a one-time process.

There are some advanced features that you can use while mapping your data. They include the ability to make spec tables, do math, and add padding. You also have the option of creating entirely new content by combining the template’s fields with your data’s attributes.

When your done mapping your data click “Generate” and then “Export”. We will send you an email with a download link for the file that you’ll use to create your ShopManiaBiz products.

The ShopManiaBiz products you just created are dynamic. That means that any changes made to the original source data that you imported in Step 1 change your new ShopManiaBiz products as well!

Okay so you’ve spent a hundred hours coming up with a new product, you’ve figured out your supply chain, and your retailers are dying for your product. All done right? Nope. Read on for the most important stage of product development: pricing!

Understand All Your Costs
When you are looking at how much to charge for a product, it’s far more that just the cost of the materials that go into your product. It’s also the sourcing and assembling, the packaging, the shipping, etc.

Consider the quantity – if there are more or less volume being produced, will your costs go up or down?

What is your overhead to produce these items? Salaries, rent, subscription services, and so on.

Know Your Target Audience

Is this an essential item and customers will ignore the price?
Will your customers work hard to find the cheapest available?
Consider Your Competitors And Where Your Product Fits
Quality: is your product the best that’s available?
Brand: does an existing brand have a monopoly on the market (e.g. Kleenex)
What niche are you striving for? Premium or Great Value? Think about the classic marketing tiers. Gold, Silver, and Bronze, does your product fit nicely in the middle?
Understand The Value The Product Is Providing
Ask your customers, what is too much to pay for this product?
What if you charged double and still sold as many?
Is there a dollar amount connected to the savings or productivity that your product provides?

Consider Additional Costs On Your Item
Taxes
Shipping
Do you price your item so it includes these items
Does the price round to an even number, or a .95?

We’ve built a spreadsheet to help you get a leg up on this. Play with the Google Sheet here, or download an excel version.

Once you are happy with the price and you need to get your product data to your retailers, sign up for a free account of Venzee, and see how easy it can be to get rid of spreadsheets.

Today our ‘one-click’ integration with Shopify graduated from beta to live and is now available to all Venzee ( https://venzee.com/ ) users! We’ve released both an inbound and outbound integration which means you can move products and updates both to and from Shopify in seconds.

In this weeks release, the Venzee dev team delivered image import from URL’s. This is in addition to uploading from your hard drive and importing from popular solutions including Dropbox and Google Drive. You can attach up to ten images to each record in Venzee which is particularly useful for product information management.

How does image import via URL work? When you add data to Venzee and include a URL instead of a filename, Venzee will detect this and ‘fetch’ a copy of the image from the URL provided and associate this image with your record.

For more information on this feature, or to get a demo of it in action, give us a shout at support@venzee.com.
